  RE: Lagarith Lossless Codec

  RE: MME and WDM drivers record audio with high pitched hiss in Samplitude
  @Denis_K Hi, Did you try importing the video into Samplitude Pro X and then monitoring it while you record in Samplitude? That way you will have an audio file in sync with the video. This is how dubbing is normally done with Samplitude. Samplitude

  RE: Feedback in Record Mode
  @Tano What, then, would you say is the proper use of the Record function using audio or mic input? Just voice dubbing? Essentially, yes, for the "mic" option, in my opinion. The app is called Sound Forge Audio Cleaning and those bolded words are the

  RE: Feedback in Record Mode
  Jeff, You said in an earlier post that: "Basically, SFACL is more designed, in its Recording facility, to record the output of, say, a CD player, where the connection between player and recorder is "direct" and the computer mic is not needed." What,

  RE: Activation of New Blue Filters 5 Ultimate
  @bjtap Thanks Barry, The plugins are for things like Virtual Dub plugins. I think the process is failing right at the start for me and Graham; the activation code won't work so the installation, which gives you what you see, doesn't occur.

  @pmikep I have also been battling with .TS files. I recorded a streamed YT video (saved as a TS) and had all sorts of dramas with it; not one program (MEP, VideoRedo, VLC, Virtual Dub) on my my machine would open it; the HDD light just stayed on

  Audio Dubbing no sound
  I have used audio dubbing to supply a commentary very often. Suddenly the dubbed sound does not appear on the video I am editing. The sound level on the record screen shows the correct volume variation but nothing is recorded. What do I do?

  @JyrkiTapani-Lehikoinen Assuming you're capturing VHS or similar with your Dazzle, we need to know what codec Pinnacle is using. Is your DV25 AVI file the capture file, or have you converted the capture to it? If Pinnacle is capturing as DV25, you

  RE: VHS to digital via Firewire problem; MEP 2015
  @Jim_H If you rendered them into an AVI format (as opposed to DV-AVI) they will be bigger. DV-AVI is 13gb/hour, whereas for example Lagarith (a lossless AVI format), is 30gb per hour. It will be better quality than a comparable DV-AVI export. In

  @Jim_H My pleasure, Jim. Can't help with the settings; it depends a lot on the source VHS eg if it's dark, increase the brightness/contrast. Washed-out colour, crank up the saturation (although a lot of this can be done in MEP after you have
